How to split a PDF

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF you want to split by dragging it into the box above or clicking to browse your files. Documents of any length are supported, from a few pages to hundreds.

  2. 2

    Choose how to split: extract a specific page range (e.g., pages 5-12), split at fixed intervals (every 5 or 10 pages), or divide into individual single-page files. Preview the page thumbnails to verify your selection before processing.

  3. 3

    Click Split and download your new PDF files. Everything is processed in your browser — the original document never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive material.

Why use our PDF splitter?

Not every recipient needs every page of a document. Splitting a PDF lets you extract the exact sections people actually need — pull a single chapter from an ebook, isolate a signature page from a contract, separate a cover letter from a resume, or break a quarterly report into monthly segments for different teams. Our PDF splitter gives you precise control over which pages go where, with multiple splitting modes designed to match common workflows. Whether you need to extract one specific section or want to break a 200-page document into manageable chunks of any size, the tool handles it in seconds. It preserves all formatting, hyperlinks, images, and annotations from the original, so each resulting file looks exactly as it should. The entire operation runs locally in your browser, which means even highly confidential documents like medical records, legal briefs, or financial disclosures are never transmitted over the internet or stored on any external server.

Splitting is just the first step in many document workflows. After extracting the pages you need, merge them with other files to build a custom document, compress the result for faster sharing, or add page numbers to keep everything organized. If you only need to remove a few unwanted pages rather than extract specific ones, our page deletion tool may be a faster option. The tool is completely free, requires no signup, and works on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone — with no software to install.
